Chapter 318 Determining the starting lineup
Throughout the October game, the performance of the Warriors has really attracted the attention of everyone in the league!
Even though this month's games are basically training grounds for each team, the Warriors' astonishing main and substitute lineups are as frightening as a nightmare!

Even though Barkley has retired for more than a year, his own talent and love for basketball, after losing weight and recovering from injuries, it is amazing to exclaim at his performance!
After seeing his appearance, countless people shouted loudly: "This scoundrel is back!"

In this month's game, although the defensive quality is hard to expect, this is the NBA after all!

Barkley averaged 25 minutes per game, with an amazing average of 12 points and 7 rebounds per game. Coupled with his seemingly omnipotent back-up action, if his playing time can reach that year In the 31 minutes when he retired, everyone in the Warriors would exclaim!
If calculated according to the time of 31 minutes, even though Barkley has reduced a lot in the season when he was injured and retired, he can still average a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds per game. It's amazing how well he maintains his competitive state!
The arrival of Oakley brought an unusually tough atmosphere to the center position. He used tough confrontations again and again to show everyone his super defensive strength!

No matter which team's center or power forward player, as long as they meet Oakley, no one will not show caution. Those "spring people" are extremely afraid of Oakley. And it caused his ribs to break!
Coupled with Olajuwon's rejuvenated competitive state, the arrival of these three veterans really made other teams feel the silent pressure deeply!
There are advantages and disadvantages, because the three maintain a good state, which makes Dampier and Wallace, who were originally the starting centers of the Warriors, suffer a huge impact!
If Wallace hadn't felt very good about Oakley, he would be sitting in Bruce's office just like Dampier now, a little frustrated!
"Boss, you know it!"

Bruce looked helplessly at Dampier, who looked unhappy, and was very speechless about what he said about playing time!

Because of the arrival of Olajuwon and Oakley, this has made the already crowded center position a more serious trend!

Dampier, who originally served as the team's starter, has been reduced in Wallace's growth, but after all, there is no threat of him starting!
But the arrival of Olajuwon and Oakley really made him feel an unprecedented crisis!
He doesn't want to leave this team. Everyone knows the current strength of this team, but with these two "old guys" joining, he is really depressed because of the allocation of playing time!

"Boss, there is no doubt about the abilities of Hakeem and Charles, but after all, they are not young. What the Warriors need in the future is our peak center, not them!" Dampier looked at Bruce very seriously. , he really wanted Bruce to agree to his previous request for more playing time!
Bruce looked at Dampier apologetically. He originally thought that this moment would come later in the evening, but now that Dampier has come to look for him in person, it can be seen that he has felt a lot of pressure on his playing time!
Seeing Bruce's expression, a hint of disappointment flashed in Dampier's eyes, then straightened his mind, and said with some difficulty: "If you have no way to solve this problem for the time being, I think a deal is a very good way for both parties! "

After Dampier finished speaking, he stood up reluctantly, glanced at Bruce with a tangled face, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out of the office!
"Damn it!!" Bruce looked at Dampier's somewhat disappointed back, and couldn't help cursing fiercely!
For him, although he has always wanted to trade Dampier, after all, as Wilkens said, this center with tonnage and defensive strength is not bad for the Warriors. Joining, his defensive power is obviously much stronger than Dampier, which is what makes Bruce extremely tangled!
But Oakley is already 37 years old after all, and he is only 2 meters tall, which really makes it difficult for Bruce to make up his mind!
"Toot!~"

Bruce dialed the phone a little irritably, and when the other party picked it up, he said bluntly, "Lanny, it seems that you have to come over!"

When Wilkens walked into Bruce's office with some doubts, seeing his tangled and irritable expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything difficult?"

"Eric made a trade request!"

Hearing Bruce's words, Wilkens was instantly stunned: "Eric proposed it himself??"

"That's right!" Bruce said bluntly!
"Is it finally here?" Wilkens murmured in a low voice, and then said with a very serious expression: "Judging from Charles' current competitive state, he has temporarily reached the level of a main substitute player and is the first substitute. It’s still a little bit reluctant, so I suggest reducing his playing time, and it’s best to reduce his playing time to about 15 minutes!”

"Uh."

Hearing Wilkens' words, Bruce suddenly reacted, just like what Wilkens said. Although Oakley looks very sturdy now, after all, his physical and competitive status has tended to be greatly reduced. Well, if Bruce hadn't been obsessed with Oakley's reputation, I'm afraid he would have been obsessed with this issue!
"I'm sorry, Lanny, it seems I've got into a dead end!" Bruce apologized to Wilkens very solemnly!

"It's very normal for you to have this kind of thinking. I was as confused as you before, but after all, this alliance is very realistic, so you really don't need to be like this!" Wilkens waved his hand with a smile, and responded to Bruce's The attitude is very appreciated!

After that, after solving this problem, the two fell into the discussion again!

If Olajuwon is scheduled as the starting center, even though Dampier is still a little dissatisfied, at least he has seen the sincerity of the team!
After confirming the starting position of the center forward, the two of Bruce discussed the arrangement of other positions!

Because of Barkley's joining, the power forward position is not a very important thing!

This is thanks to Bruce's thought work through Barkley in a small chat before, otherwise his joining will definitely bring some unstable factors to exist!
Of course, after Nowitzki joined the Warriors after Barkley joined the Warriors, he also deliberately agreed with Barkley's starting position in the team meeting!

Nowitzki's statement made Bruce's previous persuasion achieve very good results. Barkley said indifferently on the spot that he would be very happy as long as he could play!
As for the position of small forward, because Kirilenko and Gerald Wallace are still rookies, the veteran Bruce Bowen will still be in charge for the time being. This will also enable them to learn a lot from Bowen!

Shooting guards are like power forwards. Carter is the absolute main force in this position. Although Dell Curry and Starks are two veterans sitting on the bench, they are also very willing to personally guide Arena when they are about to retire. Si!
Finally, with these positions determined, both Bruce and Wilkens breathed a sigh of relief!
"Wow, this discussion really took a long time!" Bruce turned his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and said in surprise!
"Hehe, would you like to try Mrs. Wilkens' craftsmanship?" Wilkens took off his glasses and said with a smile.

"Really?" Bruce looked at Wilkens in surprise, and after seeing him nodding, he stood up excitedly, and said impatiently, "I can't help but want to taste the delicious steak!"

On October 10th, in order to better prepare for the upcoming regular season, Brews deliberately arranged for the players to relax so that they could get a lot of adjustment time after the previous games!
According to the league's schedule, the Warriors will not appear in the opening game on the 30th, so they have nearly a week of recuperation and adjustment time!

Taking advantage of the rare rest time, Bruce deliberately went to the headquarters of Miracle Entertainment in Los Angeles, so that he could learn about the final preparations for "American Pie 2" as soon as possible!
Los Angeles!
"Bruce, you should really see those guys, their performances are simply amazing!" Cole explained to Bruce excitedly, and greeted the staff passing by in the corridor from time to time!

Looking at the employees who looked at him very curiously, Bruce greeted them with a smile!

"Is this the mysterious boss who puts all his energy on the team?" Scarlett asked her friends beside her, curious about Bruce's identity!
"Yes, he is the founder of our company, and he is also one of the largest shareholders of our company!"

After being confirmed by her friend, Scarlett's expression suddenly changed, and she said excitedly: "God, this guy is so handsome, Daisy, does he have a girlfriend?"

"Scarlett, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!" The blond girl named Daisy regretfully pointed to a poster on the company's poster wall about Charlize Theron's filming of "There's Always a Sunshine" with an indescribable tone. sorry!
"Charlize??" Scarlett looked along her friend's finger, and when she saw that beautiful figure, she exclaimed weakly!

Following Cole all the way into "my" office, looking at the tall decorations around, Bruce really felt a little awkward!
"Hey, buddy, are you satisfied with all this?" Cole looked at Bruce with a funny face, pointed to the surrounding decorations, and said proudly: "These are brand-name goods!!"

"This...hehe!~" Bruce feels like his dick attribute is on fire now, looking at the exquisite layout around him, he can't tell what feeling he has in his heart!
